Answer:

C.ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that constitutes two or more elements in a defined proportion. A chemical compound is different from another compound in what it contains i.e. elements. A chemical formula shows the elements contained in a specific compound. For example, the chemical formula of sodium chloride (NaCl) shows us that it contains Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) elements as represented by symbols.

In addition to this, a chemical formula also shows the ratio of each element that makes up the compound. An element can have more than one atom in a compound. For example, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for Calcium chloride and it shows is that the ratio of Calcium (Ca) to Chlorine (Cl) is 1:2.

Write the atomic symbol for the isotope of bismuth with 125 neutrons.

vlada-n [284]

First, isotopes are the atoms of a single element whose nuclei have a different number of neutrons, and therefore, differ in mass numbers. You should know that atoms are formed by a nucleus that has a small size and is made up of protons and neutrons. The nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons, which are found in a region of the atom called the cortex.

The mass number, represented as A, is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. On the other hand, the atomic number (Z) is the number of protons that exist in the nucleus.

The isotopes of an element X are represented as follows,

(see first attached picture)

It should be noted that the number of neutrons of a chemical element can be calculated as the difference A-Z.

The atomic and mass numbers of bismuth with 125 neutrons are:

Z = 83

A = 83 + 125 = 208

Thus, the atomic symbol of the bismuth isotope with 125 neutrons is:

Answer:

A and B are unfavorable reactions.

Explanation:

In chemical thermodynamics, an endergonic reaction is also called a nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction. it's a chemical reaction in which the change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.

In chemical thermodynamics, an exergonic reaction is also called a spontaneous reaction or a favorable reaction. it's a chemical reaction in which the change in free energy is negative.

ΔG>0

If the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is positive than the reaction will be non spontaneous .

If the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is negative than the reaction will be spontaneous

Gibbs free energy is an energy which that can be use to convert into useful work.

ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

with ΔG= Gibbs free energy

with ΔH = enthalpy of reaction

with T = temperature of eh reaction

ΔS = Entropy change

The reaction A: Pi+glucose⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2O

The ΔG is positive. This is an nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction

The reaction B: Pi+fructose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-1,6-bisphosphate+H2O

The ΔG is positive. This is an nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction.

The reaction C: ATP+H2O⟶ADP+Pi

The ΔG is negative. This is a spontaneous reaction or a favorable reaction.

A and B are unfavorable reactions.
